Irrelevance

by Tanushri Shukla

Negation is mine
Under the shadow of you
I eat me away

Away and around
The unmoving ness of life
You are happier

Happier than me
The tar road bakes in the sun
Indispensable

Indispensable
Now quickly fading away
Complexes set in

In the meaning of
The meaning of “the meaning”
Is a senselessness

Senselessness only
Makes me more aware of you
And your relevance

“Relevance is so
Very important always”
Say the pall bearers

Bearers of my mind
Are hands of metal neurons
Soldered to my skull

Skull-like faces gape
Out from holes in walls of smoke
That hide dreams from me

“Me myself and I”
My wishful answer when asked
“Who will survive you?”

You needed to see
Me in a position of
Unashamed need

Fear controls the
Hand that controls the mind that
Controls the rising
